Aim of this study was to analyze the effect of medical compression stockings (MCS) class I (according to the German classification "RAL-GZ 387"; 18-21 mmHg) on symptoms in patients with uncomplicated varicose veins (C2s-C4a). We conducted a randomized (1:1), controlled, clinical trial enrolling patients with uncomplicated varicose veins (CEAP: C2s-C4a). The study consisted of a one-week baseline period and a four-week follow-up period with MCS treatment (compression class I, 18-21 mmHg) in the intervention group and non-treatment in the control group.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the utilization of surgical interventions in patients diagnosed with superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) and its potential association with the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding events.
Methods: INSIGHTS-SVT, a prospective, non-interventional, multicenter study in Germany, investigated the management and outcomes of patients with acute SVT who received conservative and/or invasive treatments at the discretion of the treating physician.
Results: Among the 872 patients with 12-month data, 657 had medical therapy only, and 215 patients underwent vascular surgery (70 within 3 months of SVT diagnosis, 136 between months 4 and 12, and nine had an intervention in both periods).
Article Synopsis
- Diuretics are commonly used in neonatal wards, despite little proof of effectiveness for several conditions, prompting a study on their use rates in a multicenter French cohort.
- An observational study included 86,032 neonates, finding an overall diuretic exposure rate of 8.5%, with significant variation across different medical centers (2.4% to 26.5%).
- The main drugs used were furosemide, spironolactone, and dopamine, often prescribed for fluid retention, but practices differed among centers, sometimes exceeding safe dosage and treatment duration limits.
